FORGET “TOFU” HOT DOGS!

Q. The 4th of July holiday is coming up soon and I’m trying to come up with some healthier alternatives to the usual hamburgers and hot dogs. Any suggestions?

A. Natural food stores are absolutely full of healthy alternatives to the usual holiday fare. Forget “tofu” hot dogs (unless your one of the few who like them) and try some delicious chicken or turkey meat hot dogs. The flavor and mouth feel is almost exactly like beef hot dogs. Or for a vegetarian choice, how about “Veggie” Dogs from Morning Star Farms? These are remarkably robust and full flavored hot dog alternatives. On the burger side you will want to try Organic Sunshine South West Veggie Burgers. From black bean to eggplant, these are all vegetarian burgers and yet have their own full flavor and zestiness. None of the above will disappoint your holiday beef eaters.

In many well stocked natural food stores you will even find higher quality red meats, fish and chicken. For excellent quality, uncured, all beef hot dogs try Applegate Farms. Or, for an extremely lean red meat burger, try bison or buffalo burgers.

Whichever you choose, have a happy and healthy holiday.
